I have been a transporter with a local rescue for a year. I have trapped spay neutered and released feral cats. Rescue dogs from abuse Captain train them as a foster animal. The only difficult part is the separation of the bond between us that is easily developed.

I have experience with most breeds of dogs from miniature to large. I am the owner of two small dogs and one cat. My dogs go for a walk twice a day and play in their own pool on hot days. Both dogs are very well mannered as I trained them as puppies.
